Thank you - I do appreciate it. I 'm surprised no one with reddit-fu has outed my other account yet.
Q1: There's really no difference although I always tell people go to a brick and mortar, physical book shop in your neighborhood. Need to support bookshops. Amazon doesn't have bathrooms. I know Barnes & Noble carries it - I don't know who else. But if you want to buy it online, I usually send people to Amazon just because they have the best tracking information for authors so I get some idea of how sales are going (http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Sense-Hearing-Shapes-Mind/dp/1608190900/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327890122&sr=8-1). Helps keep my publisher honest (although frankly Bloomsbury's been pretty cool - my editors have been great and had to put up with a lot from a first time popular science writer)
Q2: I think that would be amazing. I always wanted to do a TED talk, but the invitations for the basic 'real" TEDs are few and far between, and as I understand it, all the other ones you pay to enter and I'm not really okay with that idea. But if you try and set something like that up, let me know if I can help.
MOST IMPORTANT: Definitely 100 bat sized horses. First, I love bats and have only run into 2 mean ones in all the time I worked with them. Worst one was Vlad. Big brown bat. Serious asshole. But he was a damn good bat for behavior so we tolerated his constant attempts to shred us. The other was Delilah, a hipposideros constant frequency bat. BIG. Beautiful. Mean as a junkyard bat. But for the most part they are pretty calm, well behaved, interested in eating, flying and napping and once they've been handled for a bit and learn to eat from your hand and then a dish, they are easier to work with than mice.
On the other hand horses. I have been kicked, bitten, thrown and dragged by almost every horse I encountered. Particularly remember Scuba, a horse in NYC's Claremont stables who would get spooked by loud noises and run full force towards the nearest thing he could use to scrape me off. Nothing like a noise-sensitive horse in New York City's central park. I would train the horse sized bat to echolocate and eat the tiny horses (after I figured out how to let him move around - square cube law and all that).
Thank you - publisher is Bloomsbury so it should be available pretty widely, but it's definitely on Amazon print and kindle (http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Sense-Hearing-Shapes-Mind/dp/1608190900/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327890122&sr=8-1) and Barnes and Noble print & Nook (http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-universal-sense-seth-s-horowitz/1110930164?ean=9781608190904)
